Fergie Dishes on That Time Hubby Josh Duhamel Walked In On Her Getting A Bikini Wax

REDBOOK: Your son, Axl, is 2 years old. How has chasing after a toddler affected your a.m. regimen?

FERGIE: Every day when I wake up, I drink a green smoothie to help give me energy. Then I keep my makeup simple: I get a spray tan every two weeks—it helps my skin look nice—so as the color fades, I apply foundation, then dust a bit of bronzer above my eyes and around my face to contour it. I finish with mascara and a Wet n Wild nude lipstick.

RB: What do you use on your brows? They always look so well-groomed.

FERGIE: It's funny, because years ago, my brows were really thin and high-arched—it was the style at the time! When I started growing them back in, the hairs wouldn't grow where I'd once had a brow piercing, so in pictures, I always looked like I was lifting up one brow. So I learned to brush down the one brow to even them out—I don't want to look like I'm constantly giving people the raised eyebrow.

FERGIE: This is number five! I like different scents for different moods and occasions. My latest one, Outspoken Party, is really vibrant and seductive. It starts off with a note of raspberry—as a child, I'd pick raspberries that my dad grew in our backyard—then it rounds out with crème brûlée.

RB: You've changed your hair color a lot over the years.

FERGIE: True, though right now I'm keeping it close to my base shade so I don't have to color it too often. I'm very low-maintenance these days. Onstage, it's a lot of hair and makeup. At home, it's just about being easy and fast.

RB: So your hair routine is fairly basic, then?

FERGIE: Yes. I like having long hair—I have the shortest forehead, so the length balances that. I just wash it and throw it up in a bun while it's wet, and it gets wavy all on its own. To make my hair look thicker, I use Avon Advanced Technique Ultimate Volume Shampoo and Conditioner.

RB: Is it true that your husband, Josh Duhamel, once walked in on you giving yourself a bikini wax?

FERGIE: Oh no, no, I don't do that myself! But he once walked in as I was getting one, and it was mortifying! —As told to Kate Sullivan
